When Hungary began to build back from the crippling effects of the 2007-2008 global financial crisis and the recession that followed, it placed a premium on attracting manufacturing jobs. As its economy has matured, and ever more digitization and automation come into the mix, Hungary has increasingly sought to add what it calls “valued-added” jobs, future-proof roles that will excite Hungarians, offer them a development path and prevent a brain-drain away from the country. It has made a paradigm shift from a “Made in Hungary” mentality to an “Invented in Hungary” mindset. The Budapest Business Journal’s annual English-language Invented in Hungary publication looks at how that switch is put into practice, and represents an evolution of our former Research & Development magazine. We take a deep look at the government incentives on offer to investors to encourage them to bring R&D jobs and work to Hungary, the work of state agencies such as the National Innovation Office, who is bringing research roles to Hungary and from where, and how the education system aims to turn out the future engineers, programmers and scientists needed to fill these high level posts. We also profile a broad sweep of case studies of companies across the board, from Hungarian multinationals to bright young startups, all seeking to bring innovation and inspiration to 21st century life.
